Yea my first WOW moment!!! We have a carpet store locally here in town. I called then yesterday to see if I could get some of the old padding they use when they lay down carpet for under my pool. It helps cushion the bottom of the pool plus prevents rock from pokeing thro the bottom. Anyways they said yes, I can get all I wanted from their padding box that is beside their store. So last night after we watched Deal or no Deal we hooked up the trailor to go get the padding. While DH was unhooking the trailor he asked me to pull the car foward. Now mind you I have a 2002 Kia Sportage Convertible. We got it in late 2004 and I have never been able to get behind the wheel of the car PERIOD!!! Not ever sideways. And I hesatated last night when he asked me. I figured I would have to put on butt check on the seat and use one foot. But it didnt happen like that. I raised the stering wheel and slide right in. I actually fit behind the stering wheel and still had a little room. I got to drive around the block almost put myself thro the windsheild. Forgot what that brake thingy was for. lol It felt so good to start getting my independence back. So for those out there that you are asking yourself. Is this worth the fight that I have to go thro with family, friends, Dr's, insurance, diets, ect. My answer to you is HELL YES!!!!! It is so much more worth it then what you may have to go thro right at this moment to get you one more step closer to your goal!!! God Bless Melissa

I have to confess, whenever I see a "WOW moment" post, I read it immediately. A lot of times I'm disappointed because they are usually about how someone fits into a new size, which I'm SURE is important to them but it doesn't really make ME say "Wow, you go girl!!" But dangit all, YOU GO GIRL!!! I know very well how it can feel to not fit behind the steering wheel of a car and I'm soooo excited for you!!! I can't wait til I'm where you are. Lia
